Just as the season began, so it will end with only Loveland and Arapahoe Basin still turning their chairs.

Loveland, which had a boost in snowfall last week but since has stayed warm and dry, is planning to stay open until May 6. To entice those with season passes across the state, Loveland will offer a full-day adult lift ticket for $30 to anyone who presents a 2011-12 season pass from another resort.

Things have long since shut down at the Loveland Valley, but up at the Basin, which is hanging on to a 45-inch base, Loveland is still running the chairs on the south side of Interstate 70 as well as Chair 9 to the top of the divide, though the runs up there are limited.

Arapahoe Basin is running on limited trails, and the backside and the east and west walls have been shut down. A-Basin plans to stay open until the first weekend in June, depending on the weather.

Breckenridge will turn on the lifts on Peak 8 for one last weekend Friday through Sunday, with $50 lift tickets.
